Nevermind, We're Quarantined
Echoes of Isolation: Yearning Amidst Quarantine
Lyrics
It isn’t school when friends aren’t there
Expresses the absence of a typical school experience without friends.
I look outside and all the streets are bare
Observation of empty streets when looking outside.
But I'll get by on my own
Resolving to manage on one's own during the period of being stuck at home.
While I’m stuck at home
Acknowledging the current situation of being confined to home.
This lonely quarantine
Describing the isolating and solitary nature of the quarantine.
It isn’t fun that's been going around
Highlighting that the prevailing situation is not enjoyable.
The city’s quiet and I miss the sound
Expressing a longing for the usual city sounds that are currently absent.
But I'll hear you through the phone
Finding solace in communication through the phone while being stuck at home.
While we’re stuck at home
Emphasizing the shared experience of being confined to home.
This lonely quarantine
Reiterating the loneliness experienced during the quarantine.
I wish that I had more to say
Expressing a desire for more meaningful interactions.
There isn’t much that's new
Not much novelty or excitement in the current situation.
I realize that by myself, there isn’t much to do
Realization that being alone limits the available activities.
Oh how I long for things to be like how they were before
Nostalgia for the pre-quarantine period and a longing for normalcy.
I can’t wait for when I’m out this house and I
Anticipation for the end of the quarantine and the return to social activities.
I’m not lonely anymore
The expectation of no longer feeling lonely after the quarantine.
It isn’t school when friends aren’t there
Repetition of the idea that school lacks vibrancy without friends.
I look outside and all the streets are bare
Reiterating the observation of desolate streets.
But I'll get by on my own
Reaffirming the ability to cope independently during the quarantine.
While I’m stuck at home
Acknowledging the continued isolation at home.
This lonely quarantine
Reiteration of the loneliness experienced during the quarantine.
At least we’re just a call away, but it's not the same sometimes
Noting the proximity through calls but acknowledging the emotional difference.
At least it's spring, the sun is out, but I’m not where it shines
Acknowledging the presence of spring but feeling disconnected from it.
I took it all for granted, oh I miss my old routine
Regret for taking the pre-quarantine routine for granted.
I miss going out, I miss everyone
Expressing a yearning for the social interactions and outings that are missed.
It’s a lonely quarantine
Summarizing the overall experience of a lonely quarantine.
It’s a lonely
Emphasizing the solitude during the quarantine.
Oh, so lonely
Reiteration of the feeling of loneliness during the quarantine.
Quarantine
Final confirmation of the ongoing quarantine.
